Markus Taube at the WTO

Markus Taube was invited to speak at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in Geneva on October 2nd, 2017 about the overcapacities in the aluminium industry.

The topic of his presentation has been "Distorted Markets in the Aluminium Industry. An Account of Government Interventions, Subsidies, and Persistent Overcapacities". The major imbalances in the global aluminium markets are understood to first of all originate from excessive capacity build-up in the Chinese economy.
